Hollywood Zenith

" You seem surprised?" She asked seeing his gaping mouth but the smile ner left her face. She seemed to enjoying their cryptic conversation.

" Of course, I am only finding out that I seem to be much more loose lip than I expected." He knew that he never mentioned anything about his family.

He did consider Elise giving them clues but she didn't know what it truly meant what it meant be from Rothschild family, beside his family all acted like normal people when talking to her. The most she could tell them about the Estate but that shouldn't be something Helga would be familiar with because she lived accross the globe from him in rural parts of Russia.

All his doubts vanish when Helga started talking about other stuffs mentioning Adele and Iblis by name. She was even aware of other girls like Kate and Bella.

" I told you that other than...doing it. We talked a lot last night, it was truly a bonding moment for everyone." She faced away from him like she was reminiscing about something that happened in the past.

" I...don't know what to say."

" You don't have to say anything. I understand a lot after you opened your heart to me, I also know that you are a good person caring for everyone around you. It must be hard which is why, I don't want to tell you these things but in the end it's only right that you are aware of it." Her timid self transformed into someone who truly cared for him. She felt his burdens and was trying to console him.

" You should also visit Miss Liliana and her sister to resolve the issue. I don't know a lot but you were very remorseful when mentioning their names." His mind was a bit muddled at the moment.

In his eyes Helga seemed like a quiet and shy girl but she had extreme sensitivity to his mental chnages and was able to pick up on a lot of things that were left unsaid.

He never seemed to talk about his issues with anyone other than occasionally seeking advice from Apollo who was all seeing god but in this moment Helga appeared to be his rock.

He wasn't worried about his deepest secrets because he knew no matter how Apollo liked to follow the rules and teach him, he wouldn't keep quiet about something this important. His untold origins and magical secrets were safe but he had one other worry, Elise.

" I will. I am hoping to visit her after this week. I have to ask, did I say anything about Elise?" He wanted to know whether she knew about Elise' circumstances.

Her tragic past should be something that he didn't want others to find out carelessly. People would start to look at her weirdly or worse, it could revert her mental state back to where it was, living in her own head not knowing why she suffered too much.

He knew someday, he wanted to tell her everything but for now he wanted her to experience all the love in the world and to see not everything was evil. He would surely unmask peope behind her suffering and even drenched their blood to sooth his anger which he felt everytime he thought about her vicious scars.

He was in the process of healing her but he couldn't do it because of several restrictions. He also wondered if Helga would even believe such a ridiculous story.

" You didn't, I just know that she is not your child or your family member." Hearing Elise name come up, Helga glanced at him again.

Feeling invisible coldness emanating from his whole body was something that was giving her a deja vu. It was a familiar feeling when he was facing off against Nathaniel when they first met.

It was clear that whatever he was thinking about was making him angry.

" I have been thinking about it and after talking with you, it's something you should know. Elise might seem like any other girl but..." He briefly explained her situation.

Helga face changed from bad to worse by the end of it. She never thought the cheerful little girl who led her to meeting the love of her life had such a tragic past.

That's when she noticed when they were drenched in mud and dirt after the accident, she refused to get in the shower with Alana and Roberta who were trying to help her.

It was Samuel who taught her not to let anyone else see her naked other than Kayla, Mayra and him. It was just something he thought to dispelled any misunderstandings.

Elise didn't understand at first but when he warned about a certain monster that only three of them coud deal with she heavily nodded. It was one of the characters from Hobbit picture books that she liked to look at in her pass time.

" There is a lot more to it but for now, I think it wouldn't be right for you to know about these things." He didn't want to let her know about hidden organization, it was too dangerous for her.

" I understand."

" Thank you for believing in me."

" Stop it. It's nothing much because after meeting you and seeing this place, I don't think anything could surprise me." She knew that because the story was too out there and it was missing some context, there was a lot of things that he was worried that she would suspect but by now, her heart and soul was already with him.

She might now say it to his face but he could feel his loving gaze which had unending trust in him.

" Well, there are a lot of things that could surprise you, you haven't looked hard enough for them." He chuckled lessening the weird mood after their talk.

" You just have to take me with you. I am looking forward to it." She said it in a cheerful tone. She glanced at him again seeing that he was keeping quiet not wanting to admit it even in a joking manner.

Her mouth curved into a devilish smile reflecting perfectly what was going through her mind!
